FAQs

How Can I tell if I am Pregnant?

Below is a list of early signs of pregnancy. However, the only way to know if you're pregnant is take a pregnancy test and a follow-up test with a doctor. We provide free over-the-counter, at-home pregnancy tests for anyone under the age of 20. You can only become pregnant if you have been engaging in vaginal intercourse, particularly if no contraception has been used properly.

Pregnancy Signs:

  1. No period

  2. Nausea or vomiting

  3. Fatigue

  4. Breast tenderness

  5. Mild to severe pain, particularly in your abdomen, legs, hips, or back.
